The Campbelltown Council has a new draft bicycle plan. Unfortunately it seems the new Council elected last year is bad news for cycling. If you live in the area make sure it gets adopted. Find the draft plan at http://ow.ly/NWsc0

If you're interested in better conditions for cyclists, come along to our AGM.

Find out what we've been doing, tell us what what should be doing, and perhaps even get in involved in helping us to do it.

Guest Speaker Paul Gelston: cycling and our arterial roads.

As well as talking about projects and advocacy that we have been busy with, we will have Mr Paul Gelston talk to the meeting. Paul is the Chief Operating Officer in the Department for Planning, Transport and Infrastructure. Before that, he was a project manager for some of the more important projects that the State Government has undertaken in recent years.

You might have attended consultation meetings on Greenhill Road, and before that, the tram bridge over South Road, where Paul was up front dealing with local residents and interests like ours.

Paul will talk to us about the role of the State Government in providing for our transport needs, where cycling fits in, and the pressures faced in trying to meet broad State government objectives and deal with political demands whose basis ranges from metropolitan-wide to very local concerns. The Bicycle Institute welcomes new members and you can join at the meeting. Membership is currently free.

There are opportunities to get involved. We has welcome nominations for office holders (Chair, Vice-chair, Secretary, Treasurer) and Committee members.

We also encourage you to attend the opening of the new Frome St bikeway on Wednesday morning from 8am. As you may know has received a lot of criticism from some members of council and community but we believe in its importance as we made made submissions on its design.
